3. Speaking of hair…post-partum hair loss is a real thing, my friends. The amount of hair I’ve been losing this week in the shower is unreal and totally gross. And I guess when you think about it, it’s kinda gross I’m sharing with you now. Ahh well.

4. Scrambled eggs for dinner is always a great last-minute choice.

Since I don’t make time for them in the mornings anymore, I really look forward to them whenever I get the chance. YUM.

5. Yesterday we had an enormous Thanksgiving lunch at work. And when I say enormous, I’m not kidding. Not even slightly. There was SO much food, and everything I had was delicious. I felt like a jerk not being able to contribute (that’s what happens when hubby works late two nights in a row and my time gets devoted to Mr. Lucas). After lunch, I had to go and pump and I swear, I was *this close* to passing out in the chair. Total food coma. Totally worth it.

6. I managed two workouts during the week this week and two last weekend thanks to Tina’s Holiday Workout Plan (less than 30 minutes each and minimal equipment = awesome). Seriously, who am I?

7. I got some insider scoop from Reebok this week…they’re planning some pretty sweet Black Friday weekend promotions. I’ll have more deets for you all next Wednesday!

8. I have been tempted every single morning this week to stop at Dunkin’ for a coffee. I am so proud of the fact that I have held off until Coffee Friday. I will be treating myself to a big ol’ large size this morning. However, I think I’m kind of over the pumpkin coffee…now I need something fun and new to get. Any ideas?

9. Last weekend, we had a delicious steak dinner at home and Jay wound up finding this crazy recipe for this cheesy potato casserole thingy.

The recipe is far from healthy, but ohmygod it was incredible. A must-make, in my opinion.

Congrats to entry #16, Jennifer! Please email me at sweettoothcourtney at gmail dot com so I can get you in contact with Christina!

11. Lucas will be getting lots of grandparent time this weekend. Jay and I are trying to get lots of grandma and grandpa time with him because the last few times he’s seen my parents and my in-laws, he sports the full-out pouty lip and cries. Poor thing…but I feel ever worse for the grandmas. I think he’s slowly breaking their hearts each time. Sorry Mr. Lucas…that just ain’t gonna work.

12. Jay and I are getting a date night on Saturday and I am so, so psyched. It’s much needed. I have no idea where we’ll be going yet, but it doesn’t really matter. I’m just looking forward to some one on one time with my hubby.

That’s all I’ve got for ya today my friends. Hope you all have a kick-ass weekend!

And YES for date night. That is so needed. I just realized Peter and I haven’t had one in far too long. Time to change that. Can’t wait to hear what you guys did. Tina Reale recently posted..Do You Do Working Intervals?

Your hair looks great! Love the color! Breakfast for dinner is where it’s at! I do that more often than not these days. Can’t wait for more details on Reebok black Friday sales. Enjoy your date night and have a great weekend!Holly @ EatGreatBEGreat recently posted..{Guest Post} The Carrageenan Controversy

I love the red hair on you! I can’t wait to see how much was cut off and what it looks like! I’m sure your company didn’t mind you not contributing, though they probably missed some of your delicious sweets! Ah I love trying all your cookie recipes, haha. I think it’s great you are trying to give Lucas more grandparent time so he gets to know them more! I cannot wait to hear the Black Friday deals. Everyone is talking about them and I just want to know! hahaHeather Jarosh recently posted..My Christmas List is Complete

That’s so awesome that your work did a whole Thanksgiving meal for you! I would have passed out in that chair and not felt bad at all! Love the hair color!FitBritt@MyOwnBalance recently posted..Friday’s Food & Fitness: Dance Dance Dance!

Love your hair!! You look so good with it red, not that you didn’t look good before, just that only certain people can pull off red :). Yum, your eggs always look super good. You should get a peppermint coffee!!!! Enjoy your date night Chelsea @ A Fit LittleOne recently posted..Body Image: I Love My Body? {Part 1}

I’m kind of (gasp) getting sick of the pumpkin as well. Today was my first peppermint mocha of the season. I love the cinnamon and toasted almond coffees at Dunkin…maybe a mix of half and half would be good!

I reallyreallyreally want to do some ombre in my hair once Christian & I are married! I don’t want to do it before for obvious reasons (what if it looks horrible? what if I hate it? etc), but afterwards, I’m doing it! I haven’t colored my hair since 7th grade when I got highlights. It’s time Miranda @ Lovely Wife Lovely Life recently posted..Friday Confessions I

From what I can see your hair looks fabulous! And Yay to more Day in your life posts! I agree scrambled eggs for dinner are delicious! I can’t have them in the morning either because they unsettle my poor tummy. I know what you mean about Thanksgiving meals at work – I did have an extra slice of sweet potato pie – but as you said it was so worth it =) Hope you a have great weekend and a great date night with Jay – you deserve it!

Love your hair! I think getting my hair cut is one of my favourite things, however it only happens a few times a year.
Scrambled eggs is one of my favorite dinners!
Have an awesome weekend!Christine@munchkinmumbles recently posted..Dear Friday… I Love You

Ha, yes, postpartum hair loss is certainly a REAL thing. Mine was coming out like crazy from about 3-5 months postpartum. Then right around 6 months, it stopped, thank goodness! Except now I have what I call “horns” of hair as my hair is growing back… Lovely.

Love the auburn/red on you! Did you go shorter or just a trim?Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries recently posted..11/21/13: Thursday Thoughts

I really liked the day in the life post and would love to see more from you. And more Lucas pics please ALWAYS! That cheesy thing Jay made really does look quite amazing. Sometimes you just need that comfort food especially since it’s getting colder! Also that dinner with the eggs + avocado + english muffin looks really perfect and easy. I need english muffins back in my life.Caitlin recently posted..Five Things Friday: Linking Up!

I loved our date night last weekend–it’s so nice to get out once in awhile with a new baby, and it makes the homecoming even sweeter have fun!Annette@FitnessPerks recently posted..Fun Facts Friday {11/22}

Love the hair! I knew it looked a little different in your Insta photo. Well, considering ‘coffee Friday’ has come and gone, my rec wont help much. BUT…….if you are feeling extra frisky in the morning and venture out they have a new latte at my D & D: Red Velvet Latte. HOLY MOLY! Tastes like cake. Between that and the salted caramel hot chocolate (with a shot of espresso added to it), I’m not sure what I like better!

Your hair looks great! Although your hair will shed I found that my hair was the prettiest for the first 6 months post partum. So healthy and so luscious.
You have got to try Santa’s White Christmas coffee by Barnes. You can get it online and at some stores.
Great job with working out. Every workout counts and makes a difference.
